Then the first thing to do away is phase 2A1[/quote]totally agree!!!
it is. i also dont think there is true meritocracy. pri/sec affiliation score advantage has to be scraped. even if my kids are in affiliated schools, i will support it. there is also a divide with have and have nots. some schools only have private property around them and if you want to get in to those schools, you either buy or rent.bruce_wayne:
[quote=\"Aztac\"]actually my concern is...notwithstanding parents' wishes to get their child into schools of their choices, we haven't given thought to the morale of the teachers and staff of those schools where in Phase 2C have loads of vacancies because nobody wants to go there. Even the best and motivated teachers in that \"unwanted\" school will despair after a while and that \"unwanted\" school stays \"unwanted\" for a long time
Our system is really quite sad
the new moe kindergarten affiliation to pri school is an interesting new twist but affiliation is not the way forward. -
firstda:
Then the first thing to do away is phase 2A1[/quote]2a1 is a bigger beast and a lot of moving piece to come together to form one system. Affiliation on the other hand is more manageable and MOE could step in easily to set the rule. If you look at RGPS' earlier phases, the take up was not as strong as MGS, SCGS, HPPS as it doesn't have affiliation. 114 spots were available at 2C for RGPS as a result. also, i am not sure if it is a result of non-affiliation but about 50% of RGPS students go to IP program generally. It is all at your own merits.

although RGPS doesn't have affiliation, the girls on the whole do well. even if they don't make it to IP schools, they can still make it to express stream. Marymount doesn't have affiliation. if it does, there may not be space in 2CS in my opinion.

Unless the data / info comes from a verified source, I would take \"50% of RGPS students go to IP program\" with a pinch of salt.

yes, agree on both points. so i do feel non-affiliated schools promote and develop meritocracy.. which is supposed to be our country's bedrock...

When is the actual balloting taking place?

When is the actual balloting taking place?
I suppose it should be Monday and Tuesday next week since results from balloting will be released on 8/8, the day before national day which will be early dismissal for all schools.
for kids who are balloted out, if parents want to put their kids on school wait list, they would have to be there before 10am. -
How come MOE still never update the schools which need to go for balloting? Has been waiting…

Hi Janet, may I know where you get this information from? \"for kids who are balloted out, if parents want to put their kids on school wait list, they would have to be there before 10am.\"Jamiek:

based on past experience.

there is no guarantee the child will get a place if they are put on wait list, but should there be, the school may call at the end of the year. the reason why I mentioned before 10am is because 8 august is eve of national day and there is early dismissal for all primary and secondary schools.
